Abuja Erupts As Citizens March On Parliament Over Electoral Transparency
On Monday, protesters gathered at the entrance of the National Assembly Complex in Abuja to express their displeasure over the Senate’s controversial stance on the electronic transmission of election results.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
The demonstration began with a march from the Federal Secretariat toward the National Assembly gate.
The protesters had vowed to pressure lawmakers into making the electronic transmission of election results mandatory as part of the ongoing Electoral Act amendment. Their action comes after reports indicated that the Senate rejected the clause requiring compulsory electronic transmission of results.
Although the Senate has issued clarifications denying any confusion, the demonstrators insist that the legislation must explicitly include the phrase “real-time electronic transmission.”
At the time of reporting, Naija News confirmed a strong security presence at the protest site, with personnel from the Nigeria Police Force, Nigerian Army, and the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps deployed to maintain order.
Some protesters told Channels Television that they had no intention of entering the National Assembly, emphasizing that the protest would mainly be conducted at the gate.
Earlier, stakeholders including the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) had warned of potential mass protests or election boycotts over what they described as the Senate’s contradictory approach to the 2022 Electoral Act amendment, especially regarding electronic result transmission.
In a statement issued Sunday, NLC President Joe Ajaero said the Senate’s actions could undermine public confidence in Nigeria’s electoral process and democracy.
